Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, cloves, sandalwood and rosemary. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and crispness giving it tension and brightness. Sangivoese with touches of malvasia and merlot. A sure bet for Tuscan red, with lower alcohol. Drink now.

The 2022 Chianti Rufina Riserva is soft, open-knit and very easy to like. Plush contours wrap around a core of red cherry/plum fruit, blood orange, spice and rose petal. Floral overtones pull it all together on the finish.

Dark cherry, plum, earth and tobacco flavors are enmeshed in the lush texture of this broad red. There are solid tannins and bright acidity for support as this fades on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2030. 83,333 cases made, 15,000 cases imported.
